Thiny invention is desigi'ied to provide a simplel and inexpensiveconstruction which ear be lolded up ont of lho way without providiinrany projections ol` ibis; hind and vithout lowing any features which areni'lsighlly when the (lr-vico is so folded, and in which the stoos forlimiting the posit ion of the loot rest and holding' it in lnjirizonlalposi-tion will be integral with theI rest and siiiniortng brachets, thusfacilitating' the manufacture oi' the device.
